Morgana and Arthur Part Two

Morgana smiled as she finished putting food in the picnic basket. She loved spending time with Arthur. She wondered if they would have an adventure today. She never considered her time with Arthur boring. Morgana was better at sword fighting then him but Camelot's future King would never admit to it. The future King had his pride. That was what Morgana loved about Arthur.

Gwen interrupted her thoughts. "My Lady. Your horse is ready. Prince Arthur waits for you." Gwen bowed.

"Stop that, Gwen. You are my friend and I am the King's ward. I am not royalty."

"You will be, Lady Morgana someday soon. Have a good time."

"I will Gwen. Didn't I see you kiss Merlin last night?"

"Hush! No one knows about him and I except you."

"No one shall until you are ready. I am off to be with England's next King. See you, Gwen Dear. Morgana kissed Gwen's cheek and left with the picnic basket and walked out of the castle singing "Greensleeves."

Morgana walked to the barn and Arthur was on his big black horse. Morgana smiled in awe at Arthur. What a handsome young man Arthur was. Morgana loved him. She hoped Prince Arthur loved her, too as she did him.

"You are beautiful Lady Morgana."

Morgana bowed and the groomsman helped her get on her horse and handed her the picnic basket.

Arthur and Morgana rode into the woods. It was a beautiful day. Morgana winked at Arthur and said: Your Highness. Race you to the pond!"

Morgana took off at on her horse Sabella at a fast speed and Arthur raced after her. Morgana and Sabella beat him to the pond. Arthur got off his horse and helped Morgana off hers. He pulled her close for a kiss that was long and passionate. Morgana felt like she was in Heaven. The kiss ended and Arthur still held her close. They stayed this way for a few minutes. Finally, Arthur spoke. "Morgana, my love. Man does not live on love alone. What are we eating?"

Morgana gently left his arms and got the picnic basket and pulled out chicken, cheese, grapes, apples, chocolate cake, and milk.

"A feast fixed for Camelot's next King. A handsome one he is." Morgana's statement and smile made Arthur potty in her hands.

Arthur winked at her and blew her a kiss. She put down a blanket and she and Arthur sat on the blanket and ate the food.

"Lady Morgana, I believe your servant Gwen and my servant Merlin are in love. What do you think?"

"Don't tell anyone. Gwen gets embarrassed. We haven't told your father about us, either."

"We will. Father will approve."

"I sincerely hope so."

Morgana pulled out a bottle of wine and goblets. She poured the wine and said:" A toast to us and Camelot. I love you, my Prince."

They clang their glasses together and drank the wine. They shared a kiss and their kiss were interrupted by men on horses. They were holding swords and yelling.

An ugly big man with dirty black hair approached the couple. "What have we here? England's Prince and a lover. Well, looks like we are just in time!"

Arthur jumped up and got his sword from his horse and Morgana got her sword and they started to fight the men. There were seven of them. They were outnumbered but Morgana tried not to show any fear. The swords clanged and Morgana hoped for a miracle. Just then there was thunder and Morgana and Arthur were in the woods with waterfalls, beautiful blue waters and trees with apples and oranges. The sky was so blue and there were unicorns and fairies flying around. Morgana looked up and saw a cave with a mother dragon and her baby flying around.

"Arthur, I drank too much wine. Where are we? What is happening? Wait! It is so beautiful and peaceful here."

Arthur put his arm around Morgana. "At least those evil men aren't here. I have never seen these woods before. You are right. It is peaceful and beautiful."

Just then a fairy dressed in blue and pink appeared. "Hello. I am Princess Fadera. I am Princess of Unicorn Island. Don't be afraid. You are in Unicorn Island. Only good people can enter here. This is where unicorns, dragons, fairies and all animals live without fear here. Welcome."

Arthur and Morgana looked at the beautiful little fairy.

"I am Morgana and this is Prince Arthur. Did you save us from those men?'

"Yes. You two are Camelot's next King and Queen. I couldn't let those men hurt you."

Morgana blushed. WOULD SHE REALLY BE CAMELOT'S NEXT QUEEN?

Arthur smiled. "Fadera, Lady Morgana is going to be my wife and Camelot's next Queen. I love her. Thank you for saving us."

Arthur hugged Morgana. Morgana whispered: "I would love to be your wife. I love you, too."

Fadera smiled. "Stay as long as you like. Your horses are here, too."

The horses were with the unicorns nuzzling each other. It was a beautiful sight.

"Fadera, will King Luther be alright with Arthur marrying me?"

"Yes, he will, my Dear. He will be happy. He loves you and treats you like a daughter and Princess. You have nothing to fear."

"What about Gwen and Merlin?" Morgana asked.

"They will be just fine. It is up to them to decide if they want to be with each other. I have to leave but stay as long as you like. When you get ready to leave, the lavender unicorn will lead you out of Unicorn Island. Camelot will be in good hands when you two are married." Fadera bowed and disappeared.

Morgana kissed Arthur's cheek. "Oh, my Darling Arthur, your father will give us his blessing. I am so happy."

Me, too. Morgana, Dear. Let's look around the island."

Arthur and Morgana walked hand in hand around the island and admired all the flowers, trees, water falls, dragons, fairies and unicorns. If only Camelot could be this peaceful and perfect. Arthur and Morgana would make Camelot be peaceful and as near as perfect could be someday. They were in love but Morgana's love for Arthur would be put to the test in later years when Lancelot returned. That wouldn't be until after Morgana and Arthur were married. Morgana's true love was Arthur but Lancelot would come between them. Love. Isn't it a beautiful thing?
